About Me

My photo
Peter P. Smith
Peter P. Smith's career in and out of higher education has not followed the straight and narrow. Amid forays into politics (as a member of Congress and Lieutenant Governor of Vermont) and international affairs (Assistant Director General of UNESCO), Smith has been a higher education innovator, helping to found the statewide Community College of Vermont in 1970 and serving as founding president of California State University's Monterey Bay campus from 1995 to 2005. In these jobs and in his current one as Founding President of Open College at Kaplan University (OC@KU), Smith has pushed existing colleges and universities to better serve the adults and other students who have been least well-served by the rigid structure of traditional higher education. As he continues his work as a powerful advocate for education reforms, he would now like to share his 40+ years of experience, insight, and candor with the blogging community in order to encourage some discourse on pressing issues in higher education. You are invited to join him in the discussion.
